Here s Why Hundreds of Thousands of People Will Join the March for Life This Week Jeanne Mancini Jan 15, 2018 THIS WEEK S RECOMMENDATION: The 2018 Washington, DC March for Life theme is Love Saves Lives a reminder that love is, and always has been, woven into the fiber of the pro-life movement, and that it will ultimately be the power that makes abortion unthinkable. Love is sacrificial in nature. Deep down, we are all drawn to selflessness, which makes love a universally attractive concept. Choosing the gift of life for another over the needs of our own is perhaps the most profound example of sacrificial love, and it is the very reason we march.and, while it will not bring back the millions of lives lost to abortion since Roe v. Wade, the March for Life continues to be a beacon of inspiration, empowering others to save countless lives not yet born. Though we only march once a year, love save lives every single day. One of the speakers at the Washington, DC March for Life is Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.). Jaime faced rejection from countless doctors when seeking treatment for her daughter who had developed a condition in utero that was considered to be 100 percent fatal. However, her belief in the sanctity of life drove her to become the ninth lawmaker ever to have a baby in Congress a baby that is now a happy and healthy 3-year-old thanks to her mother s courage and love.
